Customer Profile:

Olson’s Market in Circle Pines Minnesota has been serving the needs of it’s loyal customers for over twenty years.

Goal:

With the lights on for long hours, it became a grueling task for Olson’s to continue maintaining their old, inefficient lighting system. Olson’s was looking for a new lighting system that would both save energy and reduce maintenance costs.

Assessment:

Not only were Olson’s lights burning out at a rapid pace, but their dated fixtures had lost a lot of light over the years. From fluorescent T8 and T12 lamps to HID canopy lights, HID wall packs and HID pole lights, the store was riddled with inefficient lighting and needed a complete overhaul.

Solution:

Premier left no stone unturned, as every single fixture in the facility was retrofitted to an LED solution. The inside car wash HID fixtures were retrofitted with IP65 rated LED fixtures. On the outside of the facility, long-lasting LED wallpacks, LED canopy lights and LED pole lights replaced their HID equivalents. Inside, T8 fixtures were retrofitted to LED T8, T12 fixtures were retrofitted with LED cooler door fixtures, and CFL/Incandescent lamps were replaced with LED.

Results:

Revamping the lighting at Olson’s Market had several benefits. Energy was reduced by 65%, while light levels improved 40%. In addition the new LED system meant that the days of countless hours and dollars being spent on maintaining the lighting were over. Payback was set to be reached in two and a half years.

“I don’t know if I could love the lights any more than I do,” said owner Mike Olson. “Three reasons in particular; the consistency of color makes the product look better, the added light indoor and outdoor makes my store more appealing, and I don’t have to deal with them for at least 5 years.”
